IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-SHADE HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 47,418, dated April 25, 1865.

and Improved Shade for Lamps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the letters marked thereon.

My invention consists of a ring of wire, Figure 1, to connect the shade to the lamp-glass, the ends of the wire which forms this ring terminating with clips a a, to hold a piece of paper or other suitable material, as represented at B, Fig. 2. Thus the ring, clips, and paper combined make the shade.

To make this ring I take a piece of fine wire and make a loop or ring of an oval figure, by bringing the ends of the wire across each other and twisting them together at the part marked 2. The ends of this wire are then bent at right angles from the part twisted, one to.

sented at Fig. 2. The loop of the ring thus formed is for connecting the shadeto the lamp glass by being passed loosely over it and resting on the bulged part of the glass, Fig. 3. By this mode of connecting the shade it can be put on or on instantaneously, and also moved horizontally to shade any part of the room without moving the lamp. i

In making the paper for this shade I make a crease or creases along it, as seen at c, Fig.

.2. This allows of thin paper being used and 6. Each claim substantially in the manner and for the purposes as herein described and set forth.
